The award, to be presented by Dr. Philip J. Landrigan, director of the Mount Sinai Children’s Environmental Health Center, recognizes leaders whose vision, expertise and energy significantly advance the center's mission and the children’s environmental health movement locally and globally.

Alba recently published her book, which reveals tips for making healthy living for her family fun, real and stylish.
